Panucatt Re-ARM cooling fan issue on Ramps 1.6
August 28, 2018 10:49AM
I'm having an issue getting the cooling fan to work. I have set the fan variable to true, the pin is defined as 2.4 and I am using the D9 hookup on the Ramps 1.6. The fan speed is set with M106 T0 S255. I've tried using T1 with no change. The fan just doesn't come on. It's a 12v fan and if I put 12v to it directly it works fine.

What am I missing?

I've included a snippet of the config file showing what I have set for the fan. Running a program with the cooling fan set to start at level 1 I do not get a voltage reading on D9.

# Switch module for fan control
switch.fan.enable True #
switch.fan.input_on_command M106 #
switch.fan.input_off_command M107 #
switch.fan.output_type pwm #
switch.fan.output_pin 2.4 #

switch.misc.enable false #
switch.misc.input_on_command M42 #
switch.misc.input_off_command M43 #
switch.misc.output_pin 2.4 #

OK, I guess it's time to put myself out to pasture. I mislabeled a variable. I put in True not true. No wonder it wasn't working.
